president obama won, and entitlement reform will not happen. guest: going back to the features and the benefits, let's get to the benefits -- if you do not do entitlement reform, these programs are not sustainable. they will not exist as we know them. those people that tweet in and say we are not going to do it, go back to this caller, their moms and dads that are on the program, receiving benefits, they will not be able to receive them indefinitely because those programs will run out of money. that is not me saying that heard that is experts that run the program -- saying that. that is experts that run the program from the left and the right that say we are on an unsustainable course. if you take all the revenue we take in in taxes, there is only enough money to pay for the entitlements, including social security and some of defense and the interest on the debt. anything else in washington as we look out this window, there is no money for it. we have to have some sort of reform so that parents, senior citizens will be able to receive benefits

obama is doing the best pecan and, after bush left. -- obama is doing the best that he can. i don't know why they are acting like that? he needs to do what he can so people can get jobs and get their money back, get the tax is straight. host: josh is on the line. caller: i watched your coverage on sequestration and watched the state of the union address. the tone is so much different, then when he talked with the generals about sequestration. they were apologetic and embarrassed about being put in the situation in congress and put in the forefront. when you see the state of the union, you don't hear much talk about the harm sequestration will do. and utilities for the american public to recoil against defense and say what does defense do for everyday americans, when you look at what happens in benghazi and syria and north korea and afghanistan. defense can never be understated. i think the american public does not focus on that much. host: what did you make of what the president had to say about afghanistan and removing the troops, reducing troop levels at a quicker pace? ca

he appointments obama made were already vacant. he chose an opportunity when congress was technically adjourned, not in a formal recess, to appoint people without due process. those vacancies did not occur during a recess. therefore, they should be thrown out. the process should go forward as the constitution indicates. thank you. host: have you been following this issue? why does it interest you? caller: since i have retired, i have rededicated myself to my country, my constitution. i have read it, i have studied it. i have done a lot of research. my great-grandchildren, i have educated on the constitution. the founders original documents said -- so they can understand how our country is built, why it became the greatest experience in human freedom the world has known and they can better form their opinions on knowledge rather than propaganda. guest: historically, even where the have been vacancies, presidents have made recess appointments. that has gone back and forth with republican and democratic presidents. i agree. there was
